Knoll earned All-MAC First Team honors multiple times throughout her career as an Eagle, with one of the selections coming after running a leg of the EMU and Mid-American Conference meet record-breaking DMR that clocked in at 11:29.96.
Before joining the Eagles, Knoll ran for Lansing Community College, where she was an All-American in cross country, as well as track and field for the 800m relay.

Knoll is currently pursuing her master's degree at EMU.
"Taylor is a perfect example of someone who really thrived in our program once she was surrounded by other strong runners," stated head coach Sue Parks. "She is an incredibly hard worker and a tough competitor, and we're pleased to have her continue with our program as she pursues a graduate degree."
